Dense Caption

Blue background with yellow pixelated border and central lightning bolt, green text repeating 'STRUCK BY LIGHTNING!!!' in four quadrants. The text is rendered in a blocky, pixelated font. The yellow border and lightning bolt have jagged, pixelated edges. The text appears in four identical quadrants: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right. Each quadrant contains 'STRUCK' on the first line, 'BY LIGHT' on the second line, and 'NING!!!' on the third line. The lightning bolt is centered between the quadrants. The image has a retro, low-resolution aesthetic typical of early digital graphics.
